EFFECTIVE WAYS OF ENGAGING MEN is Australia’s leading men’s health promotion training program that focuses on how we can more effectively communicate health and wellbeing messages to men and what agencies and organisations need to know about making their services, programs and resources more men friendly to achieve the best possible outcomes for men and boys. The program is for men and women who work in organisations and companies that provide health, welfare, wellbeing or community services for men and boys.

EFFECTIVE MEN'S HEALTH PROMOTION
This is the next stage program for those who have completed effective ways of engaging men and takes participants through the process of
designing, implementing and evaluating men's health promotion programs, services and resources. Participants will have time during this course to work on an existing program, service or resource or design a new strategy that they can immediately implement in their local community or workplace.
There is also extensive new learning on forming, developing and maintaining partnerships in men's health work. This is a more 'hands on' day, with more small group work and participants develop a deeper understanding of health promotion practice.

WORKING WITH MEN AFFECTED BY VIOLENCE
 In Australia today up to one in three victims of family violence are male. While many services have quite rightly been established over the past three decades to support female victims of family violence, the needs of male victims remain largely unmet.
The issue of men affected by violence in intimate relationships has been reported for many years and now workers in the domestic violence, community and family relationship sectors are acknowledging this problem and seeking out training for their workers
The training program is for health, welfare and community workers. It provides information and strategies for working with men who are affected by violence in their relationships and presents a model for this work.
Training program includes:
Background to the problem and context violence and abuse occurs in |The affect of domestic violence on a person - what’s different for men | Strategies for working with men from a strengths based perspective | A model for working with men affected by violence | Building services for male victims of DV into your agency – what you need to consider | Promoting work with male victims of DV
